Only few know this, but a nuclear war on a global scale can ruin your whole day.
It's certainly a tad harsher experience than not getting enough likes on tiktok.

[EDIT]: But then again, there could be a zombie apocalypse afterwards which would certainly be fun to a certain degree.

Time to be long in ramen, rising demand imminent.

Though seriously, looks like WW3 is getting priced in, it starts to look like a done deal.
On a positive note, gender issues will become secondary then..

No, it was really just one of these rare moments of reflection (and the insight that while we're fucked here at a slower pace it's still not enough to make fun of others)
Actually I think we're fucked either way in Europe, no matter which one of the demented geezers wins the race.

Again, no offense against the German folks, but their government is driving the cart to the wall at an incredible speed or to paraphrase that bespoken ministress: "Looking at Germany I believe I spider"

Is that the same Germany whos foreign policy is based on a feminist and value-based view (with or without a 360° turn on countries that are 100'000s of km away)?
Or is it the Germany where companies that stop producing and invoicing are just taking a break?

I mean in all honesty it's all fun and game to make jokes about the dementia death race for presidency in the USA - unless you're german resident. I mean that specific Germany where USA is a nazi code that is to be avoided at all costs.


* So much to explain here for english readers to mock about the germans and their government, they are hard to explain. First of all the foreign minister of Germany asked president Putin publicly to make a 360 degree turn on his Ukraine aggression. Second the same ministress talked about countries that are 100 thousands of km away (yeah, those shithole countries, y'all know what and where down there).  Third, large fashion outlets in Germany start removing clothes with USA on it as they think it stands for "Unser seliger Adolf" (though they admit it can be occasionally also used for the United States of America).

Seriously, I love my german friends, but you are right now NOT in the position to make fun of anybody (something about a glass house, stones and whatnot).


[EDIT]: Thinking about it, most probably none of us is right now in the position to make fun of anybody else's country. We're all f*cked by TPTB equally in one way or another.

Absolutely agree, just browse a bit through the above linked calendar and find out what other nonsense people come up with (ofc the world rat day is an exception  ).

But I disagree on needing a BTC-day, these *-days are for things that are in dire need of some attention to their cause, at least for one day in the year. BTC does not need that, no need to be among the likes of "National Life Insurance Day". "Take a Baby to Lunch Day" or "National Play Your Ukulele Day".
This is Bitcoin after all, we're here to go big, so if you want something how about naming the current century the BTC-century, I'd be in with that.

Gentlemen, next round of drinks is on me, I celebrate the world rat day.

^Honestly I didn't even know that day exists, but then again I happily welcome every good excuse to have a drink 

Holy orca of Mallorca - big trucks infecting other big trucks via wireless with a worm..
That movie called "real life" just got even worse than it already is.

Never connect security cams via wireless, the thief with minimal knowledge will have $2 deauther device running in auto-attack mode in his pocket. Actually to a knowledgeable thief a wireless cam like a cam imitation serves more as an invitation than working as a repellent.

Personally I've found $30 PoE cams from China fitting my needs perfectly well, hell you even get PTZ HD cams for under $100. Ofcourse these cams need to be in an isolated subnet that is only connected to the videoserver (this applies to every other brand too, because you do not want data leaking and also you do not want to get part of a botnet attacking whatever high-profile target).

I use Zoneminder in two separate installations and it hasn't disappointed me yet and has a very open architecture that allows you to extend it in all directions. If you fit a good videocard (good, like in CUDA-capable) into the zm server you can even get it to detect (and recognize) objects and persons (i.e. no alarming if missus or kids are walking through the yard, but alerts for everything else as long as it is a person and not a stray cat).

HTH

"The odds are in your favour" is IMO quite an understatement with regards to BTC.

The thing is, they almost all suck IMO because they do not offer search results like it used to be but instead try to "assist" you like some sort of clippy for the intertubez ("did you mean to search for"). I guess the only ones still affording to really index most of the web are bing and google anyway.
I use DuckDuckGo only because it can be used over tor, but I am far from being happy with the results as they also seem to differ based on actual tor exit node.

Wikipedia says duckduckgo uses almost everything but not google:


To me the results on DuckDuckGo most often look like pretty much what bing what deliver.

This is the way.

That sucks, get well soon to fully enjoy the ride!

(and may the solid food stay with you!)

We're still lacking a definitive confirmation of this bull market by math and science.

I'd really feel more comfortable with that uppity if the Lama came along and confirmed it.

OTOH, the ECB said it's going to zero, maybe that will do the job too.

Number going up..

That somehow doesn't look like the Bundestag to me rather some local parliament, nonetheless your statement suggests the folks there having the smartness to understand BTC.
I doubt that people who think a 360° turn somewhat changes your direction or that there countries hundredthousands of miles away will really understand the basic concept of BTC. Not to mention the economics minister and his unicorn ideas of insolvency...

Some 90mins ago a strange fee competition seems to have started, we went from ~25sat/vB to 400-600sat/vB for the next block.
Are we looking at signs on the wall for a weekend dump or is some NFTard trying to write a picture of his cat onto the blockchain?

Speaking of watermarks, how hard would it be to include your fondle slabs serial number/MAC address/subscriber ID in every picture i.e. via some steganographical tricks?
Of course that would be very evil and thanks lord, for the time being all the mobile tracking device producing corporations are not evil (some even explicitly promise that), but hypothetically speaking that could change in the future..

Accidentally I also watched it yesterday based on sirazimuths recommendation and I hardly could get the evil grin out of my face watching them finding out who Eric Pope is 

That Trapani figure is as worse as it can get with regard to human beings I guess, but I have some faith that Karma (or a disgruntled "investor" FWIW) will get at him at one point.

Thanks for pointing that out, it already began to dawn upon me but now I know for sure..
Then again, when the invoices start to change colors so to speak you can't wait any longer for the squiggly lines to please ones desires and wishes.

Though seriously, in the past it worked more often than not to wait as long as possible to sell for basic needs (a mandatory insurance is not exactly an "extra" expense in my book).
And I'd like to quote Jimbo here in my defense  (IIRC, apologies if I'm attributing this wrongly to him) : "Buy if you can and sell if you have to" and it was clearly a "have to" moment.

Remembering for what I buyed the sats I sold yesterday I'd like to quote the lil doggie too: "This is fine".
